Joy Division were a post-punk band from Manchester whose brief existence — 1976 to 1980 — produced some of the most influential music in rock history. Fronted by Ian Curtis, whose turbulent inner life infused their music with an unparalleled emotional intensity, Joy Division's records Unknown Pleasures and Closer continue to resonate as cornerstones of alternative music.
The Behind The Gallery collection features Ian Tilton's photography of the Ian Curtis memorial in Macclesfield — a rare and poignant document connected to the legacy of one of music's most mythologised figures. Joy Division's visual legacy, closely associated with the photography of Kevin Cummins and Ian Tilton, is inseparable from the Manchester music scene that produced them.
